Hi.
Not sure why it seems to happen with every update but once again
kde-workspace 4.11.10 tries to install Nepomuk. ;-)
Is there anything we can do to help fix this?

it's just that the nepomuk-free kde-workspace build from kde-unstable
got superceded by a recent update:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-7457/kde-workspace-4....
We have concrete plans to start work on brining kde-4.13.x to f20
officially, but I guess we haven't decided on how best to deal with the
nepomuk transition yet (ie, whether remove nepomuk-related deps from
core kde packages or not).

OK, kde-sig members, please add your opinion this topic ^^.
I think I'm of a mind to removing optional nepomuk-related deps when
kde-4.13.x lands, since
* baloo migrates old nepomuk data
* nepomukserver no longer runs, so the related features don't really work
anymore (afaik).

While I'm not a SIG member, may I suggest that
a.) Nepomuk will be dropped in favor of Baloo and
b.) Post announcements via the usual channels ( http://fedoramagazine.org ,
Google+, Facebook, etc.) that an update will be released and explain that the
index will be recreated / converted and that this may take a while.
We did the same back in the day when Nepomuk 2.0 succeeded 1.x in the official
kde.org announcement, resulting in IIRC zero "Nepomuk got buggy and eats CPU"
complaints. <http://kde.org/announcements/4.11/platform.php>

True but it should be communicated nonetheless.
I'd volunteer to write a few lines if you guys would spread them over the
channels.

New subject: kde-4.13.x for f20, include optional nepomuk support or not?

Here's the announcement. I wrote it late in the night, so please proofread it.
A typo here and there may have slipped through.
Fedora's KDE team is pleased to announce the release of KDE Applications
4.13.2 as regular Fedora 20 update.
The team is breaking habit a little bit: Usually only one bigger version jump
of KDE Applications is shipped as Fedora update. However, the prolonged Fedora
21 release cycle and the fact that 4.13 passed Fedora's testing made the
decision to ship 4.13 easy.
The biggest change in 4.13 is the switch of KDE Semantic Search's back-end
from Nepomuk to Baloo which brings many performance and stability benefits.
However, due this change the search index needs to be rebuilt. Reindexing
happens automatically. How long this procedure takes depends on the amount of
data stored on your hard drive.
Part of this Semantic Search overhaul is a new configuration module. It's
designed to be simpler for average users. More experienced users may be
interested in installing <tt>baloo-kcmadv</tt>.
Other new features of 4.13 are advancements in Kontact, Kate, Dolphin, and
more.

It is our pleasure to announce immediate availability of KDE
Applications 4.13 for Fedora 20[1]. Due to extended release period of
Fedora 21, we would like our users to continue to experience the
latest features and bug-fixes from upstream.
This major release of KDE SC 4.13 introduces Baloo, an improved
semantic search infrastructure, which deprecates Nepomuk[2]. Baloo
brings significantly faster searching and indexing, more relevant
search results, improved reliability, lower resource usage and less
data storage. The upgrade requires database migration that should be
handled automatically for you by the upgrade which may require
temporary increased processing power. Several of the KDE applications
have already been ported to Baloo while downstream applications are
expected make the switch. The upstream ships a minimalistic KCM module
for management of Baloo[3]. Although users with advanced needs are
advised to look into baloo-kcmadv[4].

'Minimalistic' comes across as an insult...

No, it's still an euphemism, "crippled" would be the correct word.

the crippled one dropped from Fedora entirely)

Sorry, I dropped the ball sending this out (and am now in remote location
with bad internet on vacation). Any other KDE-SIGer able/willing to send
out any semi-official announcement about it?
Otherwise, I can early next week.
